I hired Cesar Velasquez of Cesar Design to mount a flat screen TV and repair a bi-fold closet door. Cesar and his team were great - they showed up on time, were very friendly, listened to what I needed done, and did the job well. I would highly recommend Cesar Design for any handyman project.

Trenton was on time, early in fact. He installed my dead bolt keyless entry lock. It did not take him long, he wrote down the model number, and the code in the booklet. He also showed me how to use it. Went immediately upstairs to install my curtain rods in the master bedroom and bathroom. Great job thanks, and his prices are great too!

Rob is a true professional and did great work for me. I hired Rob to replace the weather stripping on the front door and hang a shelf. While installing the weather stripping, Rob noticed that what I bought was incorrect and he went to Home Depot to find the right piece himself. When he came back, we realized that the door is somewhat specialty and none of the standard door sweeps will fit. Rob did his best to repair the old door sweep until I can get a true replacement. Rob's truly demonstrated his professionalism throughout the entire process from setting up the appointment to being dedicated to finishing the job to my satisfaction. I will look to Rob in the future for other household maintenance.

Bathroom door made of metal was jamming and would not close. Tim discussed various options with us and went with the one we felt more comfortable with. He was very professional, patient, friendly and did an excellent job. He even helped us out with another door problem, which we brought up after he got to our place.

Antonio was excellent! He arrived on time to install my front door. He did a perfect job putting the door, painting it and cleaning after. I will hire him again and I recommend him without hesitation. He's done better than Home Depot or Loews including the price.

The requirement was to refinish the front door and install a new door lock and handle that I would provide.
Two people showed up on time and immediately began to install the new door lock and handle. I thought this was strange in that the door was supposed to be refinished. However, I discounted the installation first since the lock & handle were not same make as the current lock and handle. This was a mistake in judgement.
After approximately 30 minutes or less the installers were finished. I asked when they would be refinishing the door. They explained that was all they were supposed to do. They called Sam and he told me that is the only service that he performed. I explained that was not the requirement and that he had called earlier asking about the color of the door to get the materials to refinish the door. Sam's response was the same as his earlier response that he did it perform refinishing services.
Since the requested service was not performed in full as requested I refused payment.
Bottom line Sam's services were incomplete and he new it when he accepted the job. Basically dishonest and I will not use ThumbTack services in the future.

G works was a great help to me when I've needed small jobs done around my apartment. He's helped me with moving, changing and adding locks on my doors, and he even helped me shovel my car out of the big snow we had this year. He has also changed the headlights on my car. G works is always pleasant and prompt whenever I have asked him to do something for me. He's a jack of all trades and will be able to help with any needs you may have.

I give Jose Gonzalez and his team top marks. The paint job they did on the interior of my home (three stories, 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths) and exterior front entrance was outstanding and exceeded my expectations. Replacement of the front storm door and locks on two exterior doors was also excellent, as was staining of my deck, repair to a piece of siding, complete interior house cleaning, and shampooing of all carpets. Their attention to detail was phenomenal. Not only was the paint job fantastic, but they took great care in ensuring there was no errant paint on floors/carpet, etc. Jose took great pains to ensure all work was perfect. When he was not satisfied about an aspect of the job, he had it redone until it met his demanding standards and I was completely satisfied. In order to compete the job within the allotted time, Jose and his crew worked long hours. Thanks to Jose and his team, my house never looked so good and I am confident that it will be sold quickly at a premium price. Jose and Brandon have my highest recommendation for any home repair/painting project; if Jose says they can do it, be assured that it will be done to the highest standards and completed on time.

Marvin gave me a very professional and detailed estimate of the work to be performed. He and his team did an outstanding job repairing my shed and replacing the front door of my home. They also did some repairs of the exterior trim using PVC material. I would hire them again!

I am really pleased with the service they provided. They were punctual and very professional. The combination lock I originally purchased didn’t work (manufacturer defect), but they helped me select a new door lock. After I ran to Home Depot to replace it, they came back the same day to install it. Highly recommend this company and Samair(?) was excellent!!!

Mr. Perry did an amazing job on a door repair and door frame repair. His work quality is excellent and he is very communicative throughout the process. I was so pleased with Mr. Perry's work that I requested further work be done on an exterior wall. Again, his work was excellent. He does everything and is a long time expert in his field. Mr. Perry is definitely my go-to from now on!!

John went above and beyond in painting the three rooms of my house, he moved furniture, tidied up efficiently, and even fixed my front door lock! I would absolutely hire him again for painting and handyman services.

Henry replaced a panel on my front door, which had been kicked out. A different contractor told me the entire door would have to be replaced, but Henry was able to replace the panel. The door looks just as it did before. Excellent work.

Jamie and his team did a great job on our 12 foot, three panel balcony door. The issue with the door was that it would not slide open as a result of a bad "quick fix" job that the previous owner tried. They had the patience and skill to fully assess the problem and get the door back working again for us. Jamie and his team saved us over $4000 that we were quoted from several companies to replace the custom door. We will be working with them again in the future.

They came in and changed out my door, installed the hardware and painted the door. Job well done and efficiently. They would have gotten 5 stars if they had not asked me if I can trash the door and parts myself and just taken the trash with them. I believe it is part of the job to cleanup and take the trash with you. I had to call the trash company to set up a time to dispose of the door and parts.

Soo many things I want to mention now that Yaron has finished my front lock, I have some spare time. I can’t promise this short of notice, but I had a response time in 1 1/2 hours. He called to confirm but I cancelled thinking I could change the lock. I was sadly mistaken, I had to call him back because I didn’t have a drill. I’m so relieved because now I don’t have to second guess whether it’s been correctly installed. So I received a quote for a deadbolt but I actually had another lock. (Who knew) They didn’t give me any trouble at all. We negotiated the price and that was that.
As for the Service, To say I’m happy does not fully explain my satisfaction. He helped me reset my pin code to my lock, adjusted the door panel thing, and helped me with the bottom lock (which had a lockbox on it, the key is lost). I would have left a tip had I have had any paper money. He really exceeded my expectations. Especially since I read the other review. This evening I was pretty up for any challenge. Fortunate for us both, they have a loyal customer now.

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

How much does it cost to have a deadbolt lock installed?

Installing a new deadbolt lock can improve your home security, especially if you think your current lock system has been compromised or there are unaccounted-for copies of your house keys in circulation. A professional locksmith can install a new deadbolt for you in a matter of hours. The national average locksmith price ranges from $70 to $100. Locksmith prices for installing deadbolts may be higher based on whether the professional provides the lock or you have it on hand, how many components the locking system includes, and how long the installation takes. The cost to purchase a lock yourself from a big-box store can range from approximately $70 to $225 or more, depending on quality and materials. Higher-security locks often take longer and therefore cost more to install.

How does a locksmith open a locked door?

Locksmiths use specialized tools and techniques to open your door in the case of lockouts or lost keys. Trained locksmiths can pick your door lock with lock-picking tools such as a rake, a tension wrench, a half diamond or a hook. They may use a technique called bumping, which will work on pin tumbler locks, or as a last resort they may use a drill to remove your existing lock. The national average locksmith price ranges between $70 and $100. A locksmith can also replace your current lock system, re-key your locks if you have lost your keys, repair a broken lock, install a deadlock and more. Locksmiths not only help with front doors, they can help if you are locked out of your car, locked out of your mailbox, locked out of your shed … you name it. There may be an additional charge for emergency after-hours locksmith services. Check out our tips for smart hiring on Thumbtack.

How much does it cost to make a new key for a car?

Locksmiths’ prices for making new car keys can vary depending on the make of your car as well as the time of day and location. The national average locksmith price ranges from $70 to $100, but duplicating a key may cost as little as $30, while extraction a key stuck in the ignition, cutting a new key and programming the fob can cost much more.

You might need a new car key if you have lost your key, the key broke in the ignition, the key is bent or damaged, or you just want a duplicate in case of emergency. You can request a duplicate of a key you have on hand, or you can have a new key made or cut if you have lost your original car keys. If you need to replace lost keys, you’ll need to first provide proof that you are the owner of the car along with the vehicle identification number (VIN). If you’re just locked out of your car but don’t need a key made, a locksmith may charge $65 to get you back in. Locksmith car key services are often far more affordable than dealership prices for new keys.

How much does it cost for a car locksmith?

There are several reasons you may need a car locksmith. You may be locked out of your car (either with the keys inside or with no keys at all), you may have lost your car keys and need a new key, or you may want to make a duplicate car key. The national average locksmith price ranges from $70 to $100. Getting locked out of your car can be scary and overwhelming — especially if it’s cold and dark out. Fortunately, professional locksmiths provide round-the-clock assistance to help people in these circumstances.

Car lockouts are one of the main reasons people need a locksmith. Your locksmith’s price can depend on the type of car you have, the time of day (or night) it is, and where you are located. Locksmith pricing may be based on a flat rate, or pricing may be quoted to you after the locksmith determines the circumstances. For example, a flat rate for a car lockout could be $65 for standard vehicles. That price could be higher for after-hours or long-distance service, or service during extreme weather. If you have entirely lost your car keys, a locksmith can make you a new car key, but first they must verify that you are the owner of the car. Locksmiths can even program new car key fobs for you — often at a lower price than a dealership.
